Garden Fail - SO Much Effort, But It Just Didn’t Work 😫😂😊

Not everything works out well in my garden, and today is a perfect case in point! 😊
4 months ago I made a video for you all, and trialled digging up my pelargoniums and storing them in paper bags over the Winter, and today I’m finally getting them down to groom them up and replant them all ready for the coming season.
Or so I thought! 😂 here is the result of my experiment … needless to say I have now made my 4 month old video “unpublic” - never to see the light of day again. You win some, you lose some!
But here’s a look also at how the garden was looking during the depths of Winter and comparing it to how it looks now at the start of Spring 💚

Even the top gardeners have experiments that didn't work out, so don't beat yourself up. My large tubs of bulbs were more leaf than flower this year. Already chucking them 😂. Your garden looks lovely, my plants are taking swimming lessons 🤭. Have a great week in the garden and plant shopping 🪴🪴🪴🌷🌷🌷🧑‍🌾

I’m glad I can just go out and buy new pelargoniums this year - much less effort 😂 are you waterlogged there?

I brought one straight branch into the house for the winter, it kept on growing plus I got clippings. It’s huge now. I did the same with the fuchsia. I have to admit I can’t wait to get all the plants outside, and I agree, less work to just buy them grown. Thanks for your videos, we love watching you!

Not one I am familiar with but typical of his paintings. Richard has great taste. After seeing your Alliums last year, I bought a couple from the “end of season sale box” at my local garden centre. One has a large bud developing nicely. On our way up to Lincolnshire last year - for my 70th birthday present - a taxi ride in the Lancaster - we stopped off at Audley End and they were giving away bunches of their finished Tulips. They are now open for me, pale yellow in bud but opening peach. I planted then VERY deeply so they should get better year on year.

Unfortunately some people have never learned to be happy enough to let others be happy and are negative or toxic because it's all the know. I agree, it's best to send them on their way as you have, hopefully they find what they need to be happier but not at your expense! As far as the pelargonium, gardening has ever been a case of experimenting to see what works since he first gardener set trowel to turf. I failed miserably in keeping some of my dahlia overwintered last year. (I'm in Melbourne Aus, so we're into autumn now.) In this case learning you prefer buying new ones more than trying to overwinter them means a day out shopping for new plants which would be a success in my book... any excuse to go to the garden centre! 😉

If everything you did was perfect every time that would just make me feel like a failure. I love your podcasts so much because you are real and just like me we love our gardens and we keep on trying. Exciting to see your ferns springing into life. In Sydney we don't really have a quiet time in the garden as in the Autumn I'm planting primulas, snapdragons and lobelias for the Spring. Hope you have a lovely week. Love Bron xx

Hi Bron and you are so right 👍 our fails make our successes sweeter, I love that positive thought. I didn’t really mind that they failed at all, because it was going to be another whole day of potting them up and trying to store them somewhere until the last frost. I’m off to the garden centre for them in future, far more pleasant 😂 have a lovely week 💚

@paulinecrispin121 4 месяца назад

Hi Janette, First of all, I can't see the point in people keep watching videos if all folk want to do is moan and criticise. I even understood when you let "purple head " go 😢❤. Secondly, I have always thought that it is very good of you to show us when things don't work out and when plants die, because it helps all of us 😊, and we can see that we just need to carry on and keep trying. I only kept one pelargonium from last year. I had it in a pot in my unheated green house. It was alive until just a month or two ago. But I ended up throwing it away in the compost bin at the weekend. 😮

@TheEnthusiasticGardener 4 месяца назад

Hi Pauline, I know what you mean! What a waste of their (obviously valuable 😊) time!? (Sorry about purple head 😊). I think too that it’s good to know that other people’s plants die and their ideas go wrong, if everything was perfect we wouldn’t learn anything. What a shame about your pelargonium though, as you very nearly got it through the winter 👍 hope you’re doing ok, thanks always for all of your support, means a lot 👍 have a really lovely week 🩷💚

My understanding is that you have to rehydrate in water. I think you need to check with folks who do it routinely. If you must, just take cuttings. I do that for a few.

Hello, Janette! My friend took thick plastic bags from the department store and covered her geraniums in pots with them; pots and all. She put them on the porch, and they survived! This is in South Carolina. Also, there's a channel called "Jes" here. She was successful with that exact overwintering method you did, but she kept hers in the basement. Maybe it's more humid in a basement? I think she let the roots poke out of the bags, and she stapled the bags closed. She's done it for 2 years now. It's always fun to experiment! I wrapped my caladiums in paper bags--pots and all--and left them in my garage. We'll see if they survived!🤷🏾‍♀️

Hi Janette, I'm sorry to hear about your geraniums. I've seen other people recommend overwintering them that way too. The way I do it is just to dig them up and plant them in a little bit of potting soil and water them once a week. I only have 3 so they don't take up a lot of space it may be impractical for the quantity you had so maybe you can try this in the fall with your favorite ones. As for the negative comments I wouldn't give them a 2nd thought some people just want to complain and try to make other people miserable.

Lol the like and dislike are next to each other and on a small phone screen it's easy to press the wrong button and not notice 😂. It's a bit like predictive texting, I type what I want to say and it sometimes changes it without me noticing 😂😂

@TheEnthusiasticGardener 4 месяца назад

Hello Brett, thank you for watching 😊 oh yes the predictive text can be a nuisance! And I’m always rushing and pressing send before I’ve re-read what I’ve put 😂 hope you’re well and having a great time with all your lovely plants 💚

I tried the same thing with the same results. Decided that was a scam 😊

😂😂 hi Linda, it does work for lots of people, I watched lots of RU-vid videos 😂 but far easier to buy new ones! Hope you’re having a happy week 🩷

I tried geranium overwintering in paper bags for the first time this year. When I opened the bags, they looked similar to yours. I cut them back and potted them up to see what would happen. About half of them started putting out green. I will probably do it again next year. Sorry about yours.

@TheEnthusiasticGardener 4 месяца назад

Hello Chives! Oh! Maybe they are supposed to look like mine did 🤔 oh well, they’re on the compost heap now so too late to try that, but thanks for watching. I’m glad you had success with yours though. Hope you have a really great week 🩷💚

Hi Janette Your garden is looking fresh and beautiful. Sorry you lost the New Zealand plant...I forget the name. I know I shouldn't but🤣🤣😂losing your geraniums was not an afore thought prediction. You did everything right as far as I can see by other channels. I've tried myself with storing dahlias and what a flop that was. I can slightly remember the video but it's like the pot calling the kettle black😂 especially with my failures. Just look at the success you had by dividing your heucheras. I very much appreciate your vlogs whatever the outcome. Thanks a million❤💞💖🍟🍰🍦☕☕

Hi Sharon, oh yes I loved that plant (EREMOPHILA) but it was a bit of a gamble and it only cost me £5 and I had 6 months with it - not everything lasts that long! 😂 quite a few people have said they didn’t have success with overwintering dahlias so youre not alone there. Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far 🩷💚

Hi Janette, what species is your Mahonia please ? Love your videos ❤

@TheEnthusiasticGardener 4 месяца назад

Hello Patsy and thank you so much. All I know is it’s a Mahonia Japonica but unfortunately I’ve no idea if there’s a particular variety. I’ve had that plant for possibly 12 years or more and I just cannot remember. It’s as tough as nails though and pretty much looks after itself! Hope you’re having a great week 🩷💚

I assure you that I always watch to the end ... However last week was weird --- Mercury Retrograde -- may have had something to do with it ... any way I did finish watching the video to the end ... !

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Yes other planets do some what the same thing like interrupting our life's ... Oh I forgot to mention that today starting at 2:00 we are having a Total Eclipse and it last until around 4:00 so that should be exciting ... Bring out a glass of wine or bottle and our cute little solar glasses and just chill ... !

@TheEnthusiasticGardener 4 месяца назад

@shirlenehigbie5677 oh yes I know about the eclipse, we are not going to see it very well over here, just a glimpse for people in the north or west (and I’m in the south east) but I’ll still go out and have a look at 7:52pm here, just in case. Hope you get a good view though 😎🩷
